Wrapped

2009 May 1
by Audrie

A mini collection!

After receiving a lot of positive feedbacks for the Birds’ Nest earrings, I decided to experiment a little more with this wire-wrapped concept.  Only 2 pieces for now because they are extremely time consuming, but I will add to this collection in the future when I get new ideas :)

**All crystals used are Swarovski**
**All sterling silver hardware unless otherwise noted**

Spiderweb Earrings

Lt. Colorado Topaz crystals “suspended” in criss-crossing wires.  The patterns are random but carefully constructed so that the crystals are perfectly “trapped” and do not move around.  

- sterling silver french ear wire hooks
- Bicone crystals in Light Colorado Topaz
- Sterling silver brushed circle rings
- Silver plated wrapping wire

Diameter measures 1 inch. 

Price; 18

Organic Matter Necklace

Multi-colored and multi shaped crystals wrapped together forming an organic pattern.  The pendant is slideable and removable so you can wear this with the existing chain, or combine it with another chain.  

- Sterling silver chain and clasp
- Round crystals in Crystal Golden Shadow, Indian Pink, and Crystal Silver
-  Bicone crystals in Chrysolite
- Teardrop crystals in Padparascha

Pendant measures approx. 2 inches across, hangs on a 16″ chain.  

Price: $22.

Pearls in the Meantime

Thank you all for your lovely comments and support for my first collection!  I’m really excited that people actually want to buy my jewelry! :D  

The Violet Drop Earrings are still available.  I put a category on the right hand side so you can check to see what’s still available from past collections.  

I went bead shopping today for the upcoming collection. I have an idea in mind and have already started making some pieces, but I am still shopping around for the perfect beads/pendants to complete the collection.  I realized that it may take some time in between collections, so I started making some simple pieces to keep things going in the meantime.  

Pieces like these are ones that don’t really belong to any collection, and were made because I found an eye catching bead or pendant and simply had to make something out of it!  

So here it is,

Button Pearl Earrings:

-Sterling silver french ear wire hooks 
- White button shaped freshwater pearls
- Pale peach potato shaped freshwater pearls dangling on a cascade of sterling silver chains. 

All sterling silver findings/hardware.

These dainty and delicate pearl earrings are super classy!  I saw these pretty button pearls and had to have them, it’s amazing how pearls come in so many different shapes and sizes.  

Price: $16.

Collection 1: Springtime Pastels

Pastels in the Spring time?  How very appropriate.

This collection is light, fresh, transclucent, and very feminine.  It consists of two pairs of earrings and two necklaces.  You can mix and match them with each other or with existing pieces in your collection.  The earrings and necklaces were not made to be a set, but they can certainly be worn together as the colors are very complementary.  

 

Big pile of sparkling pastel crystals and gemstones.  Let’s break it down.

Hi guys, like the blog name? Haha I wanted something simple and catchy :P  So I’ve finally decided to start selling my jewelry!  Thank you for all the positive feedback that you have given me, it’s inspired me to be more creative with my designs.   I thought long and hard about the idea of selling my jewelry, how to do it, etc. and have decided that I would like to make one-of-a-kind pieces and organize them into themed collections.  Each collection would include a few necklaces, earrings, and/or bracelets, and I will be debuting a new collection whenever…I get inspiration (or whenever I get new beads/materials).     Of course, I am certainly open to custom pieces created to suit your personal tastes, I would love a good challenge :)

 

Anyway for my first post I just wanted to make an introduction, I’m almost finished with my first collection!  It is called Springtime Pastels…I will update as soon I finish putting the finishing touches. It will be a relatively small collection.  :)
